The EX220LC-3 from Hitachi is part of the Hitachi Hydraulic Excavator series. The engine delivers 160.5 hp (116 kW), has 6 cylinders, with a displacement of 6,490.9 cm³. The engine comes from Hino. Torque is 530.1 Nm. Rated speed is 2,100 rpm. The unladen weight is 19,400 kg. Ground clearance is 460.2 mm. The tank holds 310 litres. Maximum torque is reached at 1,800 rpm. The pump delivers 188.9 l/min. The hydraulic tank holds 260.1 litres. The cooling system holds 27.3 litres. The oil fill is 26.1 litres. The electrical system runs on 24 V. The engine fitted is the H06C-T. The Hitachi Hydraulic Excavator series covers 158 models. Rated output within it ranges from 105.4 to 693.5 hp; the EX220LC-3 sits at the bottom of that range with 160.5 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the ZX135US-3 below it with 126.5 hp and the EX300-2 above it with 220.3 hp. 347 Hitachi models across 20 series are on record. The model is listed under Excavators & compaction. 19 verified figures from 1 source are on file.

Hitachi ZX — what the number and letters reveal about weight class

Hitachi codes usually start with ZX, short for the ZAXIS line. The following number places the model in an approximate operating-weight class, letters such as LC, US or W describe the undercarriage and configuration, and a dash number at the end marks the generation.

LC marks a widened undercarriage for extra stability, US denotes ultra-short-tail models with a compact rear overhang for tight jobsites, and W marks wheeled machines. Current models run as ZAXIS-7, while older stock is still labelled -3, -5 or -6.

Alongside these sits the older EX line, such as the EX700: mechanically simpler than the ZX models, with less electronics, but built rugged for heavy continuous duty.

The collective entry spans small excavators from around 42 kW up to large machines above 480 kW. When buying used, check the hour meter along with the slew ring, boom-and-bucket linkage bushings and any leaks at the hydraulic cylinders.

In short: ZX plus size number plus undercarriage letter plus generation digit make up the full code, as seen on models like ZX120, ZX200 or ZX330.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
